DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description is of the best presently contemplated mode ofcarrying out the present invention. This description is not to be takenin a limiting sense but is made merely for the purpose of describing thegeneral principles of the invention. For example, each description ofrandom access memory in this specification illustrate(s) only onefunction or mode in order to avoid complexity in its explanation,however, such description does not mean that only one function or modecan be implemented at a time. In other words, more than one function ormode can be implemented simultaneously by way of utilizing the samerandom access memory. In addition, the figure number is cited after theelements in parenthesis in a manner for example ‘RAM 206 (FIG. 1)’. Itis done so merely to assist the readers to have a better understandingof this specification, and must not be used to limit the scope of theclaims in any manner since the figure numbers cited are not exclusive.There are only few data stored in each storage area described in thisspecification. This is done so merely to simplify the explanation and,thereby, to enable the reader of this specification to understand thecontent of each function with less confusion. Therefore, more than fewdata (hundreds and thousands of data, if necessary) of the same kind,not to mention, are preferred to be stored in each storage area to fullyimplement each function described herein. The scope of the inventionshould be determined by referencing the appended claims.

FIG. 1 is a simplified block diagram of the Communication Device 200utilized in the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, CommunicationDevice 200 includes CPU 211 which controls and administers the overallfunction and operation of Communication Device 200. CPU 211 uses RAM 206to temporarily store data and/or to perform calculation to perform itsfunction, and to implement the present invention, modes, functions, andsystems explained hereinafter. Video Processor 202 generates analogand/or digital video signals which are displayed on LCD 201. ROM 207stores the data and programs which are essential to operateCommunication Device 200. Wireless signals are received by Antenna 218and processed by Signal Processor 208. Input signals are input by InputDevice 210, such as a dial pad, a joystick, and/or a keypad, and thesignals are transferred via Input Interface 209 and Data Bus 203 to CPU211. Indicator 212 is an LED lamp which is designed to output differentcolors (e.g., red, blue, green, etc). Analog audio data is input toMicrophone 215. A/D 213 converts the analog audio data into a digitalformat. Speaker 216 outputs analog audio data which is converted into ananalog format from digital format by D/A 204. Sound Processor 205produces digital audio signals that are transferred to D/A 204 and alsoprocesses the digital audio signals transferred from A/D 213. CCD Unit214 captures video image which is stored in RAM 206 in a digital format.Vibrator 217 vibrates the entire device by the command from CPU 211.

As another embodiment, LCD 201 or LCD 201/Video Processor 202 may beseparated from the other elements described in FIG. 1, and be connectedin a wireless fashion to be wearable and/or head-mountable.

When Communication Device 200 is in the voice communication mode, theanalog audio data input to Microphone 215 is converted to a digitalformat by A/D 213 and transmitted to another device via Antenna 218 in awireless fashion after being processed by Signal Processor 208, and thewireless signal representing audio data which is received via Antenna218 is output from Speaker 216 after being processed by Signal Processor208 and converted to analog signal by D/A 204. For the avoidance ofdoubt, the definition of Communication Device 200 in this specificationincludes so-called ‘PDA’. The definition of Communication Device 200also includes in this specification any device which is mobile and/orportable and which is capable to send and/or receive audio data, textdata, image data, video data, and/or other types of data in a wirelessfashion via Antenna 218. The definition of Communication Device 200further includes any micro device embedded or installed into devices andequipments (e.g., VCR, TV, tape recorder, heater, air conditioner, fan,clock, micro wave oven, dish washer, refrigerator, oven, washingmachine, dryer, door, window, automobile, motorcycle, and modem) toremotely control these devices and equipments. The size of CommunicationDevice 200 is irrelevant. Communication Device 200 may be installed inhouses, buildings, bridges, boats, ships, submarines, airplanes, andspaceships, and firmly fixed therein.

This paragraph illustrate(s) the elements of Communication Device 200.The elements of Communication Device 200 described in this paragraph isidentical to the ones described in FIG. 1, except Communication Device200 has new element, i.e., LED 219. Here, LED 219 receives infra redsignals from other wireless devices, which are transferred to CPU 211via Data Bus 203. LED 219 also sends infra red signals in a wirelessfashion which are composed by CPU 211 and transferred via Data Bus 203.As the second embodiment, LED 219 may be connected to Signal Processor208. Here, LED 219 transfers the received infra red signals to SignalProcessor 208, and Signal Processor 208 processes and converts thesignals to a CPU readable format which are transferred to CPU 211 viaData Bus 203. The data produced by CPU 211 are processed by SignalProcessor 208 and transferred to another device via LED 219 in awireless fashion. The task of LED 219 is as same as that of Antenna 218described in FIG. 1 except that LED 219 utilizes infra red signals forimplementing wireless communication in the second embodiment. For theavoidance of doubt, the reference to FIG. 1 (e.g., referring to FIG. 1in parenthesis) automatically refers to this paragraph in thisspecification.

This paragraph illustrate(s) the data stored in Host H. In the presentembodiment, Host H includes Host Information Storage Area H00 a whichstores various types of data to assist and/or co-operate withCommunication Device 200 to implement all modes, functions, and systemsdescribed in this specification. As another embodiment, Host H may becomposed of a plurality of computers, i.e., one master computer and aplurality of slave computers, wherein the master computer is connectedto the plurality of slave computers. As another embodiment, Host H mayalso be composed of a plurality of master computers by way of utilizingpeer-to-peer connection.

<<Voice Recognition System>>

Communication Device 200 (FIG. 1) has the function to operate the deviceby the user's voice or convert the user's voice into a text format(i.e., the voice recognition). The voice recognition function can beperformed in terms of software by using Area 261, the voice recognitionworking area, of RAM 206 (FIG. 1) which is specifically allocated toperform such function, or can also be performed in terms of hardwarecircuit where such space is specifically allocated in Area 282 of SoundProcessor 205 (FIG. 1) for the voice recognition system.

This paragraph illustrates how the voice recognition function isactivated. CPU 211 (FIG. 1) periodically checks the input status ofInput Device 210 (FIG. 1) (S1). If CPU 211 detects a specific signalinput from Input Device 210 (S2) the voice recognition system isactivated. As another embodiment, the voice recognition system can alsobe activated by entering predetermined phrase, such as ‘start voicerecognition system’ via Microphone 215 (FIG. 1).

<<Voice Recognition—Dialing/Auto-Off During Call Function>>

This paragraph illustrates the operation of the voice recognition in thepresent invention. Once the voice recognition system is activated (S1)the analog audio data is input from Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S2). Theanalog audio data is converted into digital data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1)(S3). The digital audio data is processed by Sound Processor 205(FIG. 1) to retrieve the text and numeric information therefrom (S4).Then the numeric information is retrieved (S5) and displayed on LCD 201(FIG. 1) (S6). If the retrieved numeric information is not correct (S7),the user can input the correct numeric information manually by usingInput Device 210 (FIG. 1) (S8). Once the sequence of inputting thenumeric information is completed and after the confirmation process isover (S9), the entire numeric information is displayed on LCD 201 andthe sound is output from Speaker 216 under control of CPU 211 (S10). Ifthe numeric information is correct (S11), Communication Device 200(FIG. 1) initiates the dialing process by utilizing the numericinformation (S12). The dialing process continues until CommunicationDevice 200 is connected to another device (S13). Once CPU 211 detectsthat the line is connected it automatically deactivates the voicerecognition system (S14).

CPU 211 (FIG. 1) checks the status of Communication Device 200periodically (S1) and remains the voice recognition system offlineduring call (S2). If the connection is severed, i.e., user hangs up,then CPU 211 reactivates the voice recognition system (S3).

<<Voice Recognition Tag Function>>

The following paragraphs describe the method of inputting the numericinformation in a convenient manner.

In this embodiment, RAM 206 includes Table #1 and Table #2. Audioinformation #1 corresponds to tag ‘Scott.’ Namely audio information,such as wave data, which represents the sound of ‘Scott’ (sounds like‘S-ko-t’) is registered in Table #1, which corresponds to tag ‘Scott’.In the same manner audio information #2 corresponds to tag ‘Carol’;audio information #3 corresponds to tag ‘Peter’; audio information #4corresponds to tag ‘Amy’; and audio information #5 corresponds to tag‘Brian.’ Tag ‘Scott’ corresponds to numeric information ‘(916)411-2526’; tag ‘Carol’ corresponds to numeric information ‘(418)675-6566’; tag ‘Peter’ corresponds to numeric information ‘(220)890-1567’; tag ‘Amy’ corresponds to numeric information ‘(615)125-3411’; and tag ‘Brian’ corresponds to numeric information ‘(042)645-2097.’ Once the audio data is processed as described in S4hereinbefore, CPU 211 scans Table #1 (S1). If the retrieved audio datamatches with one of the audio information registered in Table #1 (S2),CPU 211 scans Table #2 (S3) and retrieves the corresponding numericinformation from Table #2 (S4).

This paragraph illustrates another embodiment of the present invention.Here, RAM 206 includes Table #A instead of Table #1 and Table #2described above. In this embodiment, audio info #1 (i.e., wave datawhich represents the sound of ‘Scot’) directly corresponds to numericinformation ‘(916) 411-2526.’ In the same manner audio info #2corresponds to numeric information ‘(410) 675-6566’; audio info #3corresponds to numeric information ‘(220) 890-1567’; audio info #4corresponds to numeric information ‘(615) 125-3411’; and audio info #5corresponds to numeric information ‘(042) 645-2097.’ Once the audio datais processed as described in S4 hereinbefore, CPU 211 scans Table #A(S1). If the retrieved audio data matches with one of the audioinformation registered in Table #A (S2), it retrieves the correspondingnumeric information therefrom (S3).

As another embodiment, RAM 206 may contain only Table #2 and tag can beretrieved from the voice recognition system explained hereinbefore.Namely, once the audio data is processed by CPU 211 (FIG. 1) asdescribed in S4 hereinbefore and retrieves the text data therefrom anddetects one of the tags registered in Table #2 (e.g., ‘Scot’), CPU 211retrieves the corresponding numeric information (e.g., ‘(916) 411-2526’)from the same table.

<<Voice Recognition Noise Filtering Function>>

The following paragraphs describe the method of minimizing the undesiredeffect of the background noise when utilizing the voice recognitionsystem.

In this embodiment, RAM 206 (FIG. 1) includes Area 255 and Area 256.Sound audio data which represents background noise is stored in Area255, and sound audio data which represents the beep, ringing sound andother sounds which are emitted from the Communication Device 200 arestored in Area 256.

This paragraph describes the method to utilize the data stored in Area255 and Area 256 described hereinbefore. When the voice recognitionsystem is activated as described hereinbefore, the analog audio data isinput from Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S1). The analog audio data isconverted into digital data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1) (S2). The digital audiodata is processed by Sound Processor 205 (FIG. 1) (S3) and compared tothe data stored in Area 255 and Area 256 (S4). Such comparison can bedone by either Sound Processor 205 or CPU 211 (FIG. 1). If the digitalaudio data matches to the data stored in Area 255 and/or Area 256, thefiltering process is initiated and the matched portion of the digitalaudio data is deleted as background noise. Such sequence of process isdone before retrieving text and numeric information from the digitalaudio data.

This paragraph describes the method of updating Area 255. When the voicerecognition system is activated as described hereinbefore, the analogaudio data is input from Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S1). The analog audiodata is converted into digital data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1) (S2). Thedigital audio data is processed by Sound Processor 205 (FIG. 1) or CPU211 (FIG. 1) (S3) and the background noise is captured (S4). CPU 211(FIG. 1) scans Area 255 and if the captured background noise is notregistered in Area 255, it updates the sound audio data stored therein(S5).

This paragraph describes another embodiment of the present invention.CPU 211 (FIG. 1) routinely checks whether the voice recognition systemis activated (S1). If the system is activated (S2), the beep, ringingsound, and other sounds which are emitted from Communication Device 200are automatically turned off in order to minimize the miss recognitionprocess of the voice recognition system (S3).

<<Voice Recognition Auto-Off Function>>

The voice recognition system can be automatically turned off to avoidglitch. When the voice recognition system is activated (S1), CPU 211(FIG. 1) automatically sets a timer (S2). The value of timer (i.e., thelength of time until the system is deactivated) can be set manually bythe user. The timer is incremented periodically (S3), and if theincremented time equals to the predetermined value of time as set in S2(S4), the voice recognition system is automatically deactivated (S5).

<<Voice Recognition Email Function (1)>>

This paragraph illustrates the first embodiment of the function oftyping and sending e-mails by utilizing the voice recognition system.Once the voice recognition system is activated (S1), the analog audiodata is input from Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S2). The analog audio datais converted into digital data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1) (S3). The digitalaudio data is processed by Sound Processor 205 (FIG. 1) or CPU 211(FIG. 1) to retrieve the text and numeric information therefrom (S4).The text and numeric information are retrieved (S5) and are displayed onLCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S6). If the retrieved information is not correct (S7),the user can input the correct text and/or numeric information manuallyby using the Input Device 210 (FIG. 1) (S8). If inputting the text andnumeric information is completed (S9) and CPU 211 detects input signalfrom Input Device 210 to send the e-mail (S10), the dialing process isinitiated (S11). The dialing process is repeated until CommunicationDevice 200 is connected to Host H (S12), and the e-mail is sent to thedesignated address (S13).

<<Voice Recognition—Speech-to-Text Function>>

The next paragraph illustrates the speech-to-text function ofCommunication Device 200 (FIG. 1).

Once Communication Device 200 receives a transmitted data from anotherdevice via Antenna 218 (FIG. 1) (S1), Signal Processor 208 (FIG. 1)processes the data (e.g., wireless signal error check and decompression)(S2), and the transmitted data is converted into digital audio data(S3). Such conversion can be rendered by either CPU 211 (FIG. 1) orSignal Processor 208. The digital audio data is transferred to SoundProcessor 205 (FIG. 1) via Data Bus 203 and text and numeric informationare retrieved therefrom (S4). CPU 211 designates the predetermined fontand color to the text and numeric information (S5) and also designates atag to such information (S6). After these tasks are completed the tagand the text and numeric information are stored in RAM 206 and displayedon LCD 201 (S7).

This paragraph illustrates how the text and numeric information as wellas the tag are displayed. On LCD 201 the text and numeric information702 (‘XXXXXXXXX’) are displayed with the predetermined font and color aswell as with the tag 701 (‘John’).

<<Audio/Video Data Capturing System>>

The following paragraphs illustrate the audio/video capturing system ofCommunication Device 200 (FIG. 1).

Assuming that Device A, a Communication Device 200, captures audio/videodata and transfers such data to Device B, another Communication Device200, via a host (not shown). Primarily video data is input from CCD Unit214 (FIG. 1) and audio data is input from Microphone 215 of (FIG. 1) ofDevice A.

In this embodiment, RAM 206 (FIG. 1) includes Area 267 which storesvideo data, Area 268 which stores audio data, and Area 265 which is awork area utilized for the process explained hereinafter.

In this embodiment, the video data input from CCD Unit 214 (FIG. 1) (S1a) is converted from analog data to digital data (S2 a) and is processedby Video Processor 202 (FIG. 1) (S3 a). Area 265 is used as work areafor such process. The processed video data is stored in Area 267 of RAM206 (S4 a) and is displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S5 a). The audio datainput from Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S1 b) is converted from analog datato digital data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1) (S2 b) and is processed by SoundProcessor 205 (FIG. 1) (S3 b). Area 265 is used as work area for suchprocess. The processed audio data is stored in Area 268 of RAM 206 (S4b) and is transferred to Sound Processor 205 and is output from Speaker216 (FIG. 1) via D/A 204 (FIG. 1) (S5 b). The sequences of S1 a throughS5 a and S1 b through S5 b are continued until a specific signalindicating to stop such sequence is input from Input Device 210 (FIG. 1)or by the voice recognition system (S6).

This paragraph illustrates the sequence to transfer the video data andthe audio data via Antenna 218 (FIG. 1) in a wireless fashion. CPU 211(FIG. 1) of Device A initiates a dialing process (S1) until the line isconnected to a host (not shown) (S2). As soon as the line is connected,CPU 211 reads the video data and the audio data stored in Area 267 andArea 268 (S3) and transfer them to Signal Processor 208 (FIG. 1) wherethe data are converted into a transferring data (S4). The transferringdata is transferred from Antenna 218 (FIG. 1) in a wireless fashion(S5). The sequence of S1 through S5 is continued until a specific signalindicating to stop such sequence is input from Input Device 210 (FIG. 1)or via the voice recognition system (S6). The line is disconnectedthereafter (S7).

This paragraph illustrates the basic structure of the transferred datawhich is transferred from Device A as described in S4 and S5hereinbefore. Transferred data 610 is primarily composed of Header 611,video data 612, audio data 613, relevant data 614, and Footer 615. Videodata 612 corresponds to the video data stored in Area 267 of RAM 206,and audio data 613 corresponds to the audio data stored in Area 268 ofRAM 206. Relevant Data 614 includes various types of data, such as theidentification numbers of Device A (i.e., transferor device) and DeviceB (i.e., the transferee device), a location data which represents thelocation of Device A, email data transferred from Device A to Device B,etc. Header 611 and Footer 615 represent the beginning and the end ofTransferred Data 610 respectively.

This paragraph illustrates the data contained in RAM 206 (FIG. 1) ofDevice B. RAM 206 includes Area 269 which stores video data, Area 270which stores audio data, and Area 266 which is a work area utilized forthe process explained hereinafter.

In this embodiment, CPU 211 (FIG. 1) of Device B initiates a dialingprocess (S1) until Device B is connected to a host (not shown) (S2).Transferred Data 610 is received by Antenna 218 (FIG. 1) of Device B(S3) and is converted by Signal Processor 208 (FIG. 1) into datareadable by CPU 211 (S4). Video data and audio data are retrieved fromTransferred Data 610 and stored into Area 269 and Area 270 of RAM 206respectively (S5). The video data stored in Area 269 is processed byVideo Processor 202 (FIG. 1) (S6 a). The processed video data isconverted into an analog data (S7 a) and displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1)(S8 a). S7 a may not be necessary depending on the type of LCD 201 used.The audio data stored in Area 270 is processed by Sound Processor 205(FIG. 1) (S6 b). The processed audio data is converted into analog databy D/A 204 (FIG. 1) (S7 b) and output from Speaker 216 (FIG. 1) (S8 b).The sequences of S6 a through S8 a and S6 b through S8 b are continueduntil a specific signal indicating to stop such sequence is input fromInput Device 210 (FIG. 1) or via the voice recognition system (S9).

<<Caller ID System>>

The following paragraphs illustrate the caller ID system ofCommunication Device 200 (FIG. 1).

In this embodiment, RAM 206 includes Table C. Each phone numbercorresponds to a specific color and sound. For example Phone #1corresponds to Color A and Sound E; Phone #2 corresponds to Color B andSound F; Phone #3 corresponds to Color C and Sound G; and Phone #4corresponds to color D and Sound H.

In this embodiment, the user of Communication Device 200 selects orinputs a phone number (S1) and selects a specific color (S2) and aspecific sound (S3) designated for that phone number by utilizing InputDevice 210 (FIG. 1). Such sequence can be repeated until there is aspecific input signal from Input Device 210 ordering to do otherwise(S4).

In this embodiment, CPU 211 (FIG. 1) periodically checks whether it hasreceived a call from other communication devices (S1). If it receives acall (S2), CPU 211 scans Table C to see whether the phone number of thecaller device is registered in the table (S3). If there is a match (S4),the designated color is output from Indicator 212 (FIG. 1) and thedesignated sound is output from Speaker 216 (FIG. 1) (S5). For exampleif the incoming call is from Phone #1, Color A is output from Indicator212 and Sound E is output from Speaker 216.

<<Call Blocking Function>>

The following paragraphs illustrate the so-called ‘call blocking’function of Communication Device 200 (FIG. 1).

In this embodiment, RAM 206 (FIG. 1) includes Area 273 and Area 274.Area 273 stores phone numbers that should be blocked. In thisembodiment, Phone #1, Phone #2, and Phone #3 are blocked. Area 274stores a message data, preferably a wave data, stating that the phonecan not be connected.

This paragraph illustrates the operation of Communication Device 200.When Communication Device 200 receives a call (S1), CPU 211 (FIG. 1)scans Area 273 of RAM 206 (S2). If the phone number of the incoming callmatches one of the phone numbers stored in Area 273 (S3), CPU 211 sendsthe message data stored in Area 274 of RAM 206 to the caller device (S4)and disconnects the line (S5).

This paragraph illustrates the method of updating Area 273 of RAM 206.Assuming that the phone number of the incoming call does not match anyof the phone numbers stored in Area 273 of RAM 206 (see S3hereinbefore). In that case, Communication Device 200 is connected tothe caller device. However, the user of Communication Device 200 maydecide to have such number ‘blocked’ after all. If that is the case, theuser dials ‘999’ while the line is connected. Technically CPU 211(FIG. 1) periodically checks the signals input from Input Device 210(FIG. 1) (S1). If the input signal represents a numerical data ‘999’from Input Device 210 (S2), CPU 211 adds the phone number of the pendingcall to Area 273 (S3) and sends the message data stored in Area 274 ofRAM 206 to the caller device (S4). The line is disconnected thereafter(S5).

The following paragraphs illustrate another embodiment of the presentinvention.

In this embodiment, Host H (not shown) includes Area 403 and Area 404.Area 403 stores phone numbers that should be blocked to be connected toCommunication Device 200. In this embodiment, Phone #1, Phone #2, andPhone #3 are blocked for Device A; Phone #4, Phone #5, and Phone #6 areblocked for Device B; and Phone #7, Phone #8, and Phone #9 are blockedfor Device C. Area 404 stores a message data stating that the phone cannot be connected.

This paragraph illustrates the operation of Host H (not shown). Assumingthat the caller device is attempting to connect to Device B,Communication Device 200. Host H periodically checks the signals fromall Communication Device 200 (S1). If Host H detects a call for Device B(S2), it scans Area 403 (S3) and checks whether the phone number of theincoming call matches one of the phone numbers stored therein for DeviceB (S4). If the phone number of the incoming call does not match any ofthe phone numbers stored in Area 403, the line is connected to Device B(S5 b). On the other hand, if the phone number of the incoming callmatches one of the phone numbers stored in Area 403, the line is‘blocked,’ i.e., not connected to Device B (S5 a) and Host H sends themassage data stored in Area 404 to the caller device (S6).

This paragraph illustrates the method of updating Area 403 of Host H.Assuming that the phone number of the incoming call does not match anyof the phone numbers stored in Area 403 (see S4 described hereinbefore).In that case, Host H allows the connection between the caller device andCommunication Device 200, however, the user of Communication Device 200may decide to have such number ‘blocked’ after all. If that is the case,the user simply dials ‘999’ while the line is connected. TechnicallyHost H periodically checks the signals input from Input Device 210(FIG. 1) (S1). If the input signal represents ‘999’ from Input Device210 (FIG. 1) (S2), Host H adds the phone number of the pending call toArea 403 (S3) and sends the message data stored in Area 404 to thecaller device (S4). The line is disconnected thereafter (S5).

As another embodiment of the method illustrated in the previousparagraph, Host H may delegate some of its tasks to Communication Device200. Namely, Communication Device 200 periodically checks the signalsinput from Input Device 210 (FIG. 1). If the input signal represents anumeric data ‘999’ from Input Device 210, Communication Device 200 sendsto Host H a block request signal as well as with the phone number of thepending call. Host H, upon receiving the block request signal fromCommunication Device 200, adds the phone number of the pending call toArea 403 and sends the message data stored in Area 404 to the callerdevice.

Area 295 stores a plurality ofattribution data attributing to the map data stored in Area 275 andlocation data stored in Area 277, such as road blocks, trafficaccidents, and road constructions, and traffic jams. The attributiondata stored in Area 295 is updated periodically by receiving an updateddata from a host (not shown).

In this embodiment, Video Processor 202 (FIG. 1) includes texturemapping processor 290. Texture mapping processor 290 produces polygonsin a three-dimensional space and ‘pastes’ textures to each polygon. Theconcept of such method is described in the following patents and thereferences cited thereof: U.S. Pat. No. 5,870,101, U.S. Pat. No.6,157,384, U.S. Pat. No. 5,774,125, U.S. Pat. No. 5,375,206, and/or U.S.Pat. No. 5,925,127.

In this embodiment, the voice recognition system is activated when CPU211 (FIG. 1) detects a specific signal input from Input Device 210(FIG. 1) (S1). After the voice recognition system is activated, theinput current position mode starts and the current position ofCommunication Device 200 is input by voice recognition system (S2). Thecurrent position can also be input from Input Device 210. As anotherembodiment of the present invention, the current position canautomatically be detected by the method so-called ‘global positioningsystem’ or ‘GPS’ and input the current data therefrom. After the processof inputting the current data is completed, the input destination modestarts and the destination is input by the voice recognition systemexplained above or by the Input Device 210 (S3), and the voicerecognition system is deactivated after the process of inputting theDestination Data is completed by utilizing such system (S4).

This paragraph illustrates the sequence of the input current positionmode described in S2 described hereinbefore. When analog audio data isinput from Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S1), such data is converted intodigital audio data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1) (S2). The digital audio data isprocessed by Sound Processor 205 (FIG. 1) to retrieve text and numericdata therefrom (S3). The retrieved data is displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1)(S4). The data can be corrected by repeating the sequence of S1 throughS4 until the correct data is displayed (S5). If the correct data isdisplayed, such data is registered as current position data (S6). Asstated above, the current position data can be input manually by InputDevice 210 (FIG. 1) and/or can be automatically input by utilizing themethod so-called ‘global positioning system’ or ‘GPS’ as describedhereinbefore.

This paragraph illustrates the sequence of the input destination modedescribed in S3 described hereinbefore. When analog audio data is inputfrom Microphone 215 (FIG. 1) (S1), such data is converted into digitalaudio data by A/D 213 (FIG. 1) (S2). The digital audio data is processedby Sound Processor 205 (FIG. 1) to retrieve text and numeric datatherefrom (S3). The retrieved data is displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1)(S4). The data can be corrected by repeating the sequence of S1 throughS4 until the correct data is displayed on LCD 201 (S5). If the correctdata is displayed, such data is registered as Destination Data (S6).

This paragraph illustrates the sequence of displaying the shortest routefrom the current position to the destination. CPU 211 (FIG. 1) retrievesboth the current position data and the Destination Data which are inputby the method described hereinbefore from Area 277 of RAM 206 (FIG. 1).By utilizing the location data of streets, bridges, traffic lights andother relevant data, CPU 211 calculates the shortest route to thedestination (S1). CPU 211 then retrieves the relevant two-dimensionalmap data which should be displayed on LCD 201 from Area 275 of RAM 206(S2).

As another embodiment of the present invention, by way of utilizing thelocation data stored in Area 277, CPU 211 may produce athree-dimensional map by composing the three dimensional objects (bymethod so-called ‘texture mapping’ as described above) which are storedin Area 276 of RAM 206. The two-dimensional map and/or the threedimensional map is displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S3).

As another embodiment of the present invention, the attribution datastored in Area 295 of RAM 206 may be utilized. Namely if any road block,traffic accident, road construction, and/or traffic jam is included inthe shortest route calculated by the method mentioned above, CPU 211(FIG. 1) calculates the second shortest route to the destination. If thesecond shortest route still includes road block, traffic accident, roadconstruction, and/or traffic jam, CPU 211 calculates the third shortestroute to the destination. CPU 211 calculates repeatedly until thecalculated route does not include any road block, traffic accident, roadconstruction, and/or traffic jam. The shortest route to the destinationis highlighted by a significant color (such as red) to enable the userof Communication Device 200 to easily recognize such route on LCD 201(FIG. 1).

As another embodiment of the present invention, an image which issimilar to the one which is observed by the user in the real world maybe displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1) by utilizing the three-dimensionalobject data. In order to produce such image, CPU 211 (FIG. 1) identifiesthe present location and retrieves the corresponding location data fromArea 277 of RAM 206. Then CPU 211 retrieves a plurality of object datawhich correspond to such location data from Area 276 of RAM 206 anddisplays a plurality of objects on LCD 201 based on such object data ina manner the user of Communication Device 200 may observe from thecurrent location.

This paragraph illustrates the sequence of updating the shortest routeto the destination while Communication Device 200 is moving. By way ofperiodically and automatically inputting the current position by themethod so-called ‘global positioning system’ or ‘GPS’ as describedhereinbefore, the current position is continuously updated (S1). Byutilizing the location data of streets and traffic lights and otherrelevant data, CPU 211 (FIG. 1) recalculates the shortest route to thedestination (S2). CPU 211 then retrieves the relevant two-dimensionalmap data which should be displayed on LCD 201 from Area 275 of RAM 206(S3). Instead, by way of utilizing the location data stored in Area 277,CPU 211 may produce a three-dimensional map by composing the threedimensional objects by method so-called ‘texture mapping’ which arestored in Area 276 of RAM 206. The two-dimensional map and/or thethree-dimensional map is displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S4). Theshortest route to the destination is re-highlighted by a significantcolor (such as red) to enable the user of Communication Device 200 toeasily recognize the updated route on LCD 201.

This paragraph illustrates the method of finding the shortest locationof the desired facility, such as restaurant, hotel, gas station, etc.The voice recognition system is activated in the manner describedhereinbefore (S1). By way of utilizing the voice recognition system, acertain type of facility is selected from the options displayed on LCD201 (FIG. 1). The prepared options can be a) restaurant, b) lodge, andc) gas station (S2). Once one of the options is selected, CPU 211(FIG. 1) calculates and inputs the current position by the methoddescribed hereinbefore (S3). From the data selected in S2, CPU 211 scansArea 277 of RAM 206 and searches the location of the facilities of theselected category (such as restaurant) which is the closest to thecurrent position (S4). CPU 211 then retrieves the relevanttwo-dimensional map data which should be displayed on LCD 201 from Area275 of RAM 206 (S5). Instead, by way of utilizing the location datastored in 277, CPU 211 may produce a three-dimensional map by composingthe three dimensional objects by method so-called ‘texture mapping’which are stored in Area 276 of RAM 206. The two-dimensional map and/orthe three dimensional map is displayed on LCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S6). Theshortest route to the destination is re-highlighted by a significantcolor (such as red) to enable the user of Communication Device 200 toeasily recognize the updated route on LCD 201. The voice recognitionsystem is deactivated thereafter (S7).

This paragraph illustrates the method of displaying the time anddistance to the destination. CPU 211 (FIG. 1) calculates the currentposition wherein the source data can be input from the method describedhereinbefore (S1). The distance is calculated from the method describedhereinbefore (S2). The speed is calculated from the distance whichCommunication Device 200 has proceeded within specific period of time(S3). The distance to the destination and the time left are displayed onLCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S4 and S5).

This paragraph illustrates the method of warning and giving instructionswhen the user of Communication Device 200 deviates from the correctroute. By way of periodically and automatically inputting the currentposition by the method so-called ‘global positioning system’ or ‘GPS’ asdescribed hereinbefore, the current position is continuously updated(S1). If the current position deviates from the correct route (S2), awarning is given from Speaker 216 (FIG. 1) and/or on LCD 201 (FIG. 1)(S3). The method is repeated for a certain period of time. If thedeviation still exists after such period of time has passed, CPU 211(FIG. 1) initiates the sequence described hereinbefore and calculatesthe shortest route to the destination and display it on LCD 201. Thedetails of such sequence is as same as the one explained hereinbefore.

This paragraph illustrates the overall operation of Communication Device200 regarding the navigation system and the communication system. WhenCommunication Device 200 receives data from Antenna 218 (FIG. 1) (S1),CPU 211 (FIG. 1) determines whether the data is navigation data, i.e.,data necessary to operate the navigation system (S2). If the datareceived is a navigation data, the navigation system describedhereinbefore is performed (S3). On the other hand, if the data receivedis a communication data (S4), the communication system, i.e., the systemnecessary for wireless communication which is mainly described in FIG. 1is performed (S5).

The user of Communication Device 200 inputs an input signal byutilizing Input Device 210 (FIG. 1) or via voice recognition systemidentifying one of the modes, functions, and/or systems displayed on LCD201 (FIG. 1) (S1), and CPU 211 (FIG. 1), under the command of ModeSelecting Software 20690 d, interprets the input signal and selects thecorresponding mode, function, or system (S2).

This paragraph illustrates the sequence of Mode Activating Software20690 e. CPU 211 (FIG. 1), under the command of Mode Activating Software20690 e, activates the mode, function, or, system selected in S2described hereinbefore. CPU 211 thereafter implements the activatedmode, function, or system as described in the relevant section of thisspecification.

This paragraph illustrates the sequence of Mode Implementation Repeater20690 f. The user of Communication Device 200 inputs an input signal byutilizing Input Device 210 (FIG. 1) or via voice recognition system(S1). Once the activation of the selected mode, function, or systemdescribed hereinbefore is completed, and if the input signal indicatesto repeat the process to activate another mode, function, or system(S2), CPU 211 (FIG. 1), under the command of Mode ImplementationRepeater 20690 f, executes Multiple Mode Implementer 20690 b, whichreactivates Mode List Displaying Software 20690 c, Mode SelectingSoftware 20690 d, and Mode Activating Software 20690 e to activate thesecond mode, function, or system while the first mode, function, orsystem is implemented by utilizing the method of so-called ‘timesharing’ (S3). Mode List Displaying Software 20690 c, Mode SelectingSoftware 20690 d, and Mode Activating Software 20690 e can be repeatedlyexecuted until all modes, function, and systems displayed on LCD 201(FIG. 1) are selected and activated. The activation of modes, functions,and/or systems is not repeated if the input signal explained in S2 soindicates.

As another embodiment, Multiple Mode Implementer 20690 b, Mode ListDisplaying Software 20690 c, Mode Selecting Software 20690 d, ModeActivating Software 20690 e, and Mode Implementation Repeater 20690 fdescribed hereinbefore may be integrated into one software program,Multiple Mode Implementer 20690 b. CPU 211 (FIG. 1), first of all,displays a list of a certain amount or all modes, functions, and/orsystems described in this specification on LCD 201 (FIG. 1) (S1). Next,the user of Communication Device 200 inputs an input signal by utilizingInput Device 210 (FIG. 1) or via voice recognition system identifyingone of the modes, functions, and/or systems displayed on LCD 201 (S2),and CPU 211 interprets the input signal and selects the correspondingmode, function, or system (S3). CPU 211 activates the mode, function, orsystem selected in S3, and thereafter implements the activated mode,function, or system as described in the relevant section of thisspecification (S4). Once the activation of the selected mode, function,or system described in S4 is completed, the user of Communication Device200 inputs an input signal by utilizing Input Device 210 or via voicerecognition system (S5). If the input signal indicates to repeat theprocess to activate another mode, function, or system (S6), CPU 211repeats the steps S1 through S4 to activate the second mode, function,or system while the first mode, function, or system is implemented byutilizing the method so-called ‘time sharing’. The steps of S1 though S4can be repeatedly executed until all modes, function, and systemsdisplayed on LCD 201 are selected and activated. The activation ofmodes, functions, and/or systems is not repeated if the input signalexplained in S5 so indicates. As another embodiment, before or at thetime one software program is activated, CPU 211 may, eitherautomatically or manually (i.e., by a signal input by the user ofCommunication Device), terminate the other software programs alreadyactivated or prohibit other software programs to be activated while onesoftware program is implemented in order to save the limited space ofRAM 206, thereby allowing only one software program implemented at atime. For the avoidance of doubt, the meaning of each term ‘mode(s)’,‘function(s)’, and ‘system(s)’ is equivalent to the others in thisspecification. Namely, the meaning of ‘mode(s)’ includes and isequivalent to that of ‘function(s)’ and ‘system(s)’, the meaning of‘function(s)’ includes and is equivalent to that of ‘mode(s)’ and‘system(s)’, and the meaning of ‘system(s)’ includes and is equivalentto that of ‘mode(s)’ and ‘function(s)’. Therefore, even only mode(s) isexpressly utilized in this specification, it impliedly includesfunction(s) and/or system(s) by its definition.
